Fiber laser system for cesium and rubidium atom interferometry
Clément Diboune, Nassim Zahzam, Yannick Bidel +2
We present an innovative fiber laser system for both cesium and rubidium manipulation. The architecture is based on frequency conversion of two lasers at 1560 nm and 1878 nm. By ta…
Quantum sensing of acceleration and rotation by interfering magnetically-launched atoms
Clément Salducci, Yannick Bidel, Malo Cadoret +6
Accurate measurement of inertial quantities is essential in geophysics, geodesy, fundamental physics and navigation. For instance, inertial navigation systems require stable inerti…
Quantum sensing of radiofrequency fields using cold Rydberg atoms in a super-molasses trap
Romain Granier, Anthony El Bekai, Miguel Angel Cifuentes Marín +12
We demonstrate the quantum sensing of radiofrequency fields based on cold Rydberg atoms in a super-molasses trap, without the need for magnetic coils. Our approach combines the met…
I.C.E.: a Transportable Atomic Inertial Sensor for Test in Microgravity
Robert A. Nyman, Gael Varoquaux, Fabien Lienhart +10
We present our the construction of an atom interferometer for inertial sensing in microgravity, as part of the I.C.E. (\textit{Interférométrie Cohérente pour l'Espace}) collabor…
Phase shift in an atom interferometer induced by the additional laser lines of a Raman laser generated by modulation
Olivier Carraz, Renée Charrière, Malo Cadoret +3
The use of Raman laser generated by modulation for light-pulse atom interferometer allows to have a laser system more compact and robust. However, the additional laser frequencies…
Zero-velocity atom interferometry using a retroreflected frequency chirped laser
Isadora Perrin, Jeanne Bernard, Yannick Bidel +4
Atom interferometry using stimulated Raman transitions in a retroreflected configuration is the first choice in high precision measurements because it provides low phase noise, hig…
